Grab The Tape, Honey, My Tie is Acting Weird
First bobbie pins in his hair, now tape on his tie. Donald Trump’s tie secret.
Okay, I have myownself wondered why Trump wears his ties so long. Maybe to cover his zipper, you know, in case he forgets to zip and everybody could see his small hands. I dunno. I figure that’s as good a guess as any.
GQ is not amused.
Donald Trump, the future president of the United States, scotch tapes the back of his tie to the front.
You see, because the President-elect doesn’t leave enough slack on the thin end to reach the built-in loop, he’s left with an unmoored sliver of silk that threatens his commanding suited man presence. And again, his solution is to use scotch tape, the very adhesive that’s sitting next to you at your desks right now, to connect the two pieces. Sad!
Sad? No. Goofy as hell? There ya go.
Thanks to Epp for the heads up.
From what I’ve seen of his transition team, his whole administration is going to be taped together from misfitting ends.
1A true hero of the working class would use duct tape.
2Why doesn’t he use the shellac he uses on his hair to glue the tie ends together? If it can hold his pompadour in the wind, it will work on the tie.
3The dewlap of our reptilian overlord is showing.
4JJ, you are so mean, honey. Wish I was up to your standard.
5Right up there with the poor girl whose prom dress had slipped a bit before the photo was taken, revealing that she’d used tape to get her cleavage.
And that’s not even a good taping job.
6What the … ????? This person who claims to have more money than God and hobnobs with the BEST people, has no clue how to properly do a tie? When my boys were learning how to wear ties at age 12 they did a better job than this. What a tacky little twerp.
7Note to POtuS: It’s called velcro. Buy some.
For a man who had his own clothing line…
And, of course New York City has no tailors who could snip off the loop and move it higher…
Rank amateur…
8Does the label show?
9Of course Drumpf was too cheap to get double stick tape. Like Jennifer Lopez uses to tape her barely there gowns to her sweater puppies.
10I’m about the same size as OleBaldy, 6’2 & 235. Buying a silk, cotton, wool or linen tie is about $70.oo at any upscale men’s store. He’s just a cheap and uncreative child. I use an old tie tack through the loop on the back — won trick that baby-boy will never learn. He would have to visit here.
11I am surprised that the race-baiting deadbeat doesn’t have a tie bar. The P-gabber n chief wears shirts with French cuffs therefore must obtain cufflinks which are often sold in sets W/ tie bars. If it would take the time to tie It’s tie properly then it wouldn’t be embarrassed by these fly away moments.
12Umm, let see, why would the Cheetoh-faced Ferret-wearing Shitgibbon Cocksplat wear his ties so long? What would he be covering up? A belly that embarrasses Santa Claus? Teeny tiny, itty bitty, mini . . . okay, I don’t need to finish that. Or maybe it’s purpose is to distract from the Cheetoh-face? The ferret? The gibbon? The splat?
I am loving ripping new orifices in that degenerate, loathsome body. Bwahahahahahaha!

14Duct tape, like the Force, has a dark side, but it binds the galaxy together.
He can’t afford to pay someone to sew him larger longer ties???
15fierywoman –
16The ties are plenty long enough. He just can’t figure out how to move the knot, and even up the ends a bit.
Drumpf looks precendential, alrighty. If the mangled apricot wore duct tape on his tie, he would be accused, by Michigan fans, of belonging to tOSU Buckeyes.
17His image, as is his whole demeanor, is one of sloppy, lazy, slap-dash, fly-by-the-ample-seat-of-his-pants. Contrast this dumbkoff oaf to President Obama and just cry.
18For a man who claims to be rich, he looks like a leftover from Goodwill. Is he too cheap to buy a tie tack? Or can’t he find one that is gold enough for his tacky taste? Perhaps if a Boy Scout would teach him how to properly tie his tie, it would not be long enough to use as toilet paper in a pinch and the skinny end could be neatly tucked into the ribbon sewed to the back of the tie for that purpose.
19Maybe if he didn’t have his ties made in China…who is pretty ticked at him…he’ll be claiming they did this on purpose next.
20Scotch tape. This guy really does have the mind of an 8-year-old. And not a particularly bright one.
21The scotch tape was probably Kelly Ann’s idea…reminding tRump “that anything can be fixed with transparent tape, it will make America great again, by holding the country together in such difficult times.”
22I’d love to be behind him, grab that fluttering tie end with both hands, and yank it just as hard as I can. Then I’d stand over him and snarl into his face, “This is what a real woman looks like, you Cheetoh-faced Ferret-wearing Shitgibbon Cocksplat. Bwahahahahahaha!” Gawd that would be so much FFFFFUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!
23He, Trump, should use some of his tape for his mouth. Sick of him.
24epo, he should be wearing duct tape on his mouth. And maybe to fasten his texting fingers together. Oh, wait, we enjoy his Twitters don’t we…
25Yanno, normally I would be all over this, but…here’s the thing. My mother was a fantastic seamstress–she could design clothes as well as sew them from patterns. She made all my clothes for years, and she made me other clothes even after she’d retired. I…am not. I grew up with her great example and I turned into the kind of person who…if a hem rips out…will tape it up rather than whip out her sewing kit with the right colors of thread to match every garment in the closet in it, and immediately sew it up with perfectly even whipstitching.
I intend, of course, to properly hand-stitch it in when I have time, and I have in fact repaired the hem of many a skirt, but…
There was this time I was making myself a caftan (a lovely caftan, by the way) and I ran out of time and taped the hem. And sorta forgot I taped the hem. And my mother drove up from the Valley to San Antonio (where we lived at the time) and I wore the caftan to show her I could, after all, make a garment, and you know the first thing she did? She knelt down and turned up the hem to see if I had hemmed it the right way, and there was the tape.
The look on her face shamed me for years. And then I quit hemming at all. In fact I haven’t made another garment since. Because, dammit, there are worse sins than taping your hem (or your tie) and it’s just plain tacky to jump on that when there are many worse ones in view. Like being so cheap you buy a tie that won’t go around your neck with enough room for the skinny end to go into the strap thingie. And like being a racist, bigoted, arrogant, narcissistic, mean scumsucking SOB who is also ignorant and dumber than a sack of rocks.
26Elizabeth Moon: Yes, I hear you. BUT… you never went prancing around shouting to the rooftops what a GREAT seamstress you were, did you? So I can forgive the hem taping. (I know my way around a sewing machine, thread and needle but I’m no Coco Chanel, m’kay?) THE DONALD has flooded us for years with his greatness about everything! It would be remiss of us not to call out his failings as he has most definitely called out the failings of others. So in this instance, Donnie = LOSER!!
And I’m sure your caftan was lovely.
27that tape is the only transparency we will know about his administration.
